The central theme of this article is the study of deformations of surface singularities using
recent advances in three dimensional geometry. The basic idea is the following. Let X 0 be a …

This book gives a new foundation for the theory of links in 3-space modelled on the modern
development by Jaco, Shalen, Johannson, Thurston, et al., of the theory of 3-manifolds. The …

The spinor representations of the rotation group in a six-dimensional space with indefinite
metric are shown to be four-component spinors, which become the usual Dirac spinors …

The physical 3d ND 2 theory T ŒY was previously used to predict the existence of some 3-
manifold invariants yZa. q/that take the form of power series with integer coefficients …

The main goal of the present article is the computation of the Heegaard Floer homology
introduced by Ozsváth and Szabó for a family of plumbed rational homology 3–spheres. The …

We explore statistical properties of Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield q-series for 3 d N= 2
strongly coupled supersymmetric theories that correspond to a particular family of three …

In the context of 3-manifolds, determining the asymptotic expansion of the Witten–
Reshetikhin–Turaev invariants and constructing the topological field theory that provides …

Let X be the link of a normal complete intersection surface singularity and let F be the
associated Milnor fiber. Thus, X is a closed oriented 3-manifold and F is a compact, simply …

LET (X, 0) be an isolated complex analytic surface singularity which is reduced and
irreducible. This paper is concerned with certain necessary conditions (X, 0) must satisfy in …

We formulate a very general conjecture relating the analytical invariants of a normal surface
singularity to the Seiberg–Witten invariants of its link provided that the link is a rational …
